The Whole of the Moon

Lyrics

I pictured a rainbow
 You held it in your hands
 I had flashes
 But you saw the plan
 I wandered out in the world for years
 While you just stayed in your room
 I saw the crescent
 You saw the whole of the moon
 The whole of the moon
 You were there at the turnstiles
 With the wind at your heels
 You stretched for the stars
 And you know how it feels
 To reach too high, too far, too soon
 You saw the whole of the moon
 I was grounded
 While you filled the skies
 I was dumbfounded by truths
 You cut through lies
 I saw the rain-dirty valley
 You saw Brigadoon
 I saw the crescent
 You saw the whole of the moon
 ♪
 I spoke about wings
 You just flew
 I wondered, I guessed, and I tried
 You just knew
 I sighed, but you swooned
 I saw the crescent
 You saw the whole of the moon
 The whole of the moon (the whole of the moon)
 With a torch in your pocket
 And the wind at your heels
 You climbed on the ladder
 And you know how it feels
 To get too high, too far, too soon
 You saw the whole of the moon
 The whole of the moon (hey-yeah)
 Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers
 Trumpets, towers and tenements, wide oceans full of tears
 Flags, rags, ferry boats, scimitars and scarves
 Every precious dream and vision, underneath the stars
 Yes, You climbed on the ladder
 With the wind in your sails
 You came like a comet
 Blazing your trail
 Too high, too far, too soon
 You saw the whole of the moon
 ♪
 Oh-oh, how did see the whole of the moon?
